HARRISBURG, Pa. (AP) — Pennsylvania’s governor is taking steps to honor a state highway worker struck and killed while setting flares to warn drivers of an interstate crash.

Democratic Gov. Tom Wolf on Wednesday ordered the state flag to be flown at half-staff in the Capitol complex in Harrisburg and at all state facilities in Blair County to remember PennDOT highway foreman Robert Gensimore.
